PB turns 4 Today!

Kiss kiss PB readers today!!! You send me the sweetest emails, like the one I got today:

I live in Australia and I’m 16 in 2011. I love art with a passion and I’m painting my own French piece for art class which you’ve inspired me to do. I’ve searched the internet and you’re art work is the best I’ve found! I really enjoy looking through your blog, paintings and photos. They’ve inspired me to go to France in my gap year to be an Ampere and to paint in my spare time. You’ve also inspired me to try a macaron! I’m getting a bit impatient, they look delicious! Anyway, just looking at your pictures brightens my day that little bit more. So, thank you for sharing your paintings and French experiences with me. J

May God bless you,

Philippa

So I'm getting out the candles. U really bring me a lot of love & joy! Because of you, I've started dolling up (Thank you H&M and Sonia!)

Happy, Happy Blog-Birthday!Thank you for everything,from sharing your paintings to sharing your Paris,for your time that you dedicate to this blog,to your humor which makes it all so amüsant!Even though I have never set foot in Paris,I know it, thanks to you!

I love your writings and art. I got so hooked up reading the stuff about Paris. I've been to Paris several times and last year was my third. How I miss Paris so much, but whenever I read your emails it just reminds me back of Paris.

Keep on doing what you do. You are blessed with writing and art gifts....Ives

may the blog have a very long lasting life, we're really delighted by your posts and the love you devote to things around this sensational city. you're an amazing artist, go on and never stop. joyeux anniversaire PB.

I was just about to tell you how much I look forward to your blog every weekday and it's your Blogbirthday! Our visits to Paris have been so much better because of your pictures and information - the little things make me know more about Paris and Parisians! Happy Birthday and many more!

Hi Carol,Happy B.Day! Also, what about searching for les macs with the Bear in Bordeaux or some other French city, or for that matter taking a side trip to Rome in search of les macs and all things French? I wonder if Italians eat les macs in Rome/Florence/or? Only the Bear can discover the truth. I bet Brussels has its version of macs.Cheers,Margaret B. in Atlanta

Happy Birthday Carol! It was me who deleted the previous comment, I was logged in as Harvey.I love the way that girl says she is 16 in 2011, should I now say I was 57 in 2009? Ah youth, it is wasted on the young :)

Happy Bloggy birthday Carol. I still remember how I happened upon your blog 2 years ago. I was posting about our June '08 trip to Paris and wanting to find a picture of a typical croissant and cafe breakfast so I Googled "Paris breakfast" and voila, I found you and have read you ever since. this morning I sit in front of the computer with a "Petit Dejeuner" mug of yours filled with my favorite coffee and cheering to your good health. Happy bloggin'

Dear Carol! Very Happy Birthday to your fabulous blog! I'm telling you that I'm totally addicted to your humor...I don't remember when was the last time somebody made me laugh so much...I rolled over on your blog today and passed by the royal purple outfit (big smile), macarons (can you imagine I've never tried one?) and the Sonia love...and I just laughed, laughed, laughed...

Thanks so much for the lovely email by the way...I can't wait until your next post!

I love the freshness of your blog and your wittiness. So far, in two years I have gained at least ten pounds just looking at all the chocolate and the macaroons you have shown.I like Paris much better through your eyes than from my eyes when I visited in the late 80's.

Is that a crime I didn't know who you are? I was absolutely captured by your sharp humor on your blog...and than I googled you a couple of days ago and I discovered your beyond gorgeous watercolors! Oh my God! I love them soooooooooo much! They are so incredibly gorgeous and happy and full of charm (I just wanna jump into those pictures). I feel so honored and happy to "know" you virtually :-) Thank you so much for answering my comments and taking your precious time to email me.Million thanks: Eve

Bonjour!I am a grad student who once lived in Paris for a short time, and reading your blog, with all the photos makes me long for and remember Paris voraciously. I look at it every morning while enjoying my cafe'. So, I want to say thank you, thank you for sharing...and thank you for bringing me back to a time which was far less complicated. And yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! MERCI!! Audrey

Dearest Carol!! HAPPY BELATED BLOGAVESARY, JOYEAU ANNIVERSAIRE POUR VOUX ET LA BLOG!! Okay, I'm trying with spelling... Point being, You and PB have brough such incredible joy, passion and love for so many things Parisian, it's incredible. You have no idea how much one can learn on PB, and how much fun it is. Thank you for 4 delicious years and may there be many, many more to come. We all adore you. Merci beaucoup :-)

ahhh Carol, Happy Birthday! I only wish I knew about this four years ago! You know you keep my daily lust for France fresh on a daily basis. Because of you...and my own hunger...I will never let my dreams of returning to Paris go. You are chocolate cake for breakfast.Heather

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
